Abstract:
Frames are provided to adapt a multi-contact electrical connector to be electrically connectable with more than one style of ceramic substrate or the like. The connector is originally designed to accommodate therein a leadless ceramic substrate having two rows of spaced apart electrical terminal contact pads respectively disposed on two opposite side surfaces of the substrate. By insertion of either one of two different frames into the connector instead of the leadless substrate, the connector will be adapted to receive a corresponding one of two other styles of substrates.
Abstract:
An interconnection system is disclosed for connecting ceramic substrate and the like to printed circuit boards, panels, or the like. The connector has a plurality of terminals therein each including a spring contact near one end for making contact with circuitry on a ceramic substrate, the substrate being snapped or otherwise secured in position on the connector. The other end of each terminal is a solder post and is designed to be plugged into a printed circuit board and soldered to circuitry thereon. In another form the other end of the terminal is in the form of a post to receive a wrapped electrical conductor therearound.
